We provide a range of services that help small, medium and large organisations improve the services and products they deliver to their customers. DWF Consulting is perfectly placed to support clients, in any location or sector, looking to improve their people, processes and systems.

Business improvement

In today's climate 'Change' seems to be the only constant. Businesses need rapid solutions to complex problems; be that cultural, technical and/or process driven. The constant challenge is to improve "what we do" and "how we do it".

Through the use of innovative techniques and proven approaches to change, the business improvement team supports clients on their journey, whether that is changing processes, improving the culture and engagement of their people, or simplifying systems.

Some of the core services offered by our business improvement team:

Process Improvement – We are able to help with all aspects of Process Improvement. Whether a specific process problem, end to end engineering, or establishing architecture.

Customer Journey Mapping - This improvement approach is focussed around the analysis of your customer's journey. What's their story and is it any good? Can it be improved?

People Development - We educate, train and improve our clients' understanding of efficient and diverse methods of change. Our goal is to teach clients how to utilise techniques that will improve their functions.

Requirements Gathering & Elicitation - We help clients to focus on what their core requirements are for a particular product or service - something which often gets forgotten about.

For insurers, our consultancy services also include:

Technical and Operational Strategy Planning

For many years DWF has been the market leader in lawyer partner initiatives. As an extension of this work we have now recruited experts from other fields who work closely with the legal teams to deliver expertise in technical and operational insurance strategy.

These include insurance professionals, BI analysts, clinicians, forensic accountants and business process experts. Our consultants help our clients to make sure that initiatives work within their particular operating environment and organisational culture. We understand that one size does not fit all. Using DWF consultancy gives you access to multidisciplinary teams which can help you gain competitive advantage.

Insurance Claims Audit

Working with your claims team we will conduct a thorough independent audit of your claims files. Once complete we will then report back our findings in relation to case management file handling processes and reserve adequacy. The audit provides an ‘informed view’ about how files are being managed both internally and externally identifying areas for potential improvement or operational best practice which could be mirrored elsewhere in your operation.

Insurance Fraud: Intelligence

Our team of experts utilise a whole range tools to identify the risk of potential insurance fraud. We have created a series of web based search and visualisation software products which facilitate the claims screening process, supporting your intelligence team. Such software can help you detect and reject fraudulent claims without the invest and resources needed to develop you own systems as well as enabling clients to tap into our vast intelligence data base.
